This excellent home made video was made to be a 'prequel' of sorts to the many country 'how to' videos available -- if you have problems keeping up and understanding them, you must get this! Styles similar to Brent Mason, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Redd Volkaert, Reggie Young, Roy Nichols, and others. These lessons were developed over my 23 years of playing, and getting to know some of the worlds best country guitarists. Here are a FEW of the topics discussed and taught: ~basic country picking patterns ~basic 'claw' technique ~introduction to 'chicken-pickin' technique ~explanation of why country licks and leads don't necessarily follow scales ~tons of licks and leads played extremely slow, and up close for you! ~Detailed explanation of getting that fat, compressed country sound

Misleading title and goes down from there

This DVD was substanitially different from what was advertised because it said specificly on the title that is was "beginner." The description of the DVD states "if you have problems keeping up and understanding them, you must get this!" This further implies that the DVD is geared to someone with limited experience.

The DVD opens with the teacher playing each of the six strings by itself to tune the instrument. He says, "you may not have a tuner, so you can just tune to my guitar." That one minute of tuning is the only part of the DVD that a beginner will be able to follow. He then very quickly starts doing licks on the guitar that a beginner couldn't possibly follow. There are no charts and very little attemp is made to make the instuction applicable to the novice guitarist.

I have seen many "how to" dvd's and this one is the perfect example of what not to do. I couldn't see the guys fingerings part of the time, poorly framed, poor sound, no organization, and no real practical application of what the instructor was teaching. I was very disapointed at this product.
